State of the Press Feb 2015

OK, been a while since theres been an update on how things are and figured I might as well reveal the plans for this coming year.

Diceni

For the third year in a row Utherwald Press will be in attendance at Diceni at the Forum in Norwich on Sunday 3rd May.

There will be a few copies of the updated Alyeskan Tales book, printed copies of the Firewater & Ice adventure and possibly a few copies of the Savage Worlds Deluxe rulebook. I *might* have another Savage Worlds adventure to sell, though its too early to say.

UK Games Expo

Utherwald is looking to be back for a second year at the UK Games Expo in Birmingham, though pretty much the same deal as above.

Logistics still need to be figured out for it but the idea of running a Frozen Skies based adventure at UKGE has been considered, though it will probably have to take place outside of the trading hours due to the limited size of the Utherwald crew.

Projects*Frozen Skies - Still being worked on, though the bulk of the writing is done. Artwork is proving to be a huge hurdle, rather paying for it all is. Currently paying for a piece at a time, but ideally I would like to be able to pay the artist a lump sum and get them all done. Still considering giving crowdfunding another shot.*Wulver's Cry - The adventure in the story of the crew of the Grey Bonxie, though this time they're having to deliver urgent supplies to a remote outpost before a blizzard closes in on it. Oh and the outpost is located in the heart of the territory claimed by the savage Wulvers.

The previous Tale of the Grey Bonxie, The Alyeskan Job, can be found here.

*City of the Wulf - A citybook covering Fort Bainsbury, a fortified city located on the far western coastline of the Wulflands. It is effectively a city besieged, surrounded almost completely by Wulver territory.

New Adventures?

Recently written an adventure for Fabled Environments to go with their Airship map, more details when that gets released.

The next Frozen Skies related adventure thats in the works is 'The Lost Sodkan Mine' where the players get shanghaied by the Air Police to help investigate recent attacks against remote settlements by 'heavily armoured men'.
